Lexi's Memoir
By: Lexi Q


Have you ever had a fight with you brother or sister…? Well I have. My brother can be mean, selfish, cruel, but when we fight at the end we always makeup. My brother plays baseball and I hate going to his games because I think that are just so boring. My mom and dad make me go to cheer on my little brother.


One blazing hot day he was playing baseball and he got hit in the face with a baseball I just sat there because I thought he deserved to get hit in the face because my brother always makes me mad. After a while I felt bad because I didn’t do anything and I didn’t help him. My poor brother was sitting there on the field crying in front of everyone.


One day I was at the batting cage with my dad and my brother Tyler and I wanted to try to hit the baseball so I did. My brother is a good baseball player so he usually goes in the fast pitched cage and I usually go in the slow-pitched one because I am not a good baseball player. That day I wanted to beat my brother because he usually beats me at everything. I went in the fast-pitched cage, which was not a good idea. When it started I hit the first ball but the next one came really fast almost like a lightning bolt and hit me right in the stomach. I started to cry so badly tears were running down my face like a river. My brother and my dad came in the cage and helped me. Right there and then I remembered the time my brother got hit in the face and I didn’t help him when the ball hit his face.


I felt like a jerk because my brother helped me when the ball hit my stomach and he was mad at me I didn’t help him and I was mad at him. I told him I was sorry for when I didn’t help him when he got hit in the face with the baseball. He sat there for a minute and thought finally, I heard words come out of his mouth those words were "I forgive you!" My brother and me always fight but sometimes we can be really nice to each other. Also if my brother ever gets hurt I am going to help him even if I am mad at him because that is just the right thing to do.
